Blue Fin Tuna Surprise - Key West, Fl | Moral Dilemma | CCC

well that was absolutely one of the coolest eats ive ever seen on YouTube...slow trolling for kingfish with a live runner and thats what eats it. AMAZING!

That Bluefin smash reminds me of me, my Dad and 2 Brothers fishing off the Outer Banks in the early 2000's. We were charter fishing for Dorado and Wahoo when the long line got smashed by a Giant Blue Marlin. It looked like a Volkswagen jumping out of the water. The Captain put me in the fighting chair and all I could do was hold on. We watched it for about 1 minute as it breached from starboard to port with INCREDIBLE speed before it snapped the line. I will never forget it !!

it's nice ( and rare ) to see you genuinely happy not sure you noticed but you have a life most would kill for and it's rare to hear you laugh like a kid , nice to see m8 .

As someone who’s fished for Bluefin for over 20 years those blow ups never get old. That fish was all over 90+ inches was a monster. Love your videos man keep em coming. And I also own a Contender.

For those that dont or didn't know bluefin make there way down the coast around the keys and then north into the northern gulf to spawn. There is a bluefin fishery in Florida which is highly specialized. Most encounters in the keys go just like the one we just watched. Typically while mackerel fishing one eats a live bait and thats that. I believe the Florida record is around 800 pounds and was caught out of either Pensacola or Panama city. We catch them occasionally mixed in with yellowfin on the otherside of the stream off the east coast typically in mid to late march. When I lived in marathon on 2 separate occasions, one in late January one in February, we actually had bluefin come into the chum slick while yellowtail fishing. Absolutely wild. As always my friend great video!! PS you did the right thing, break em off quick dont stress them.

Absolutely monster tuna. My jaw dropped during that slow-mo! As a new englander I appreciate that you let it go and hopefully it makes more bluefins.

After a tough day of school there is not much better then quality family time and Key West Waterman videos!! Thank you Mr. Aaron, keep the coming!

@21:59 I have literally watched that portion over and over again!! That was a massive Bluefin and kudos to you for letting it go. Many would have tried to fight it but you did the right thing. Another amazing Key West Waterman video!!!

And thank you for taking us along. Appreciate you and yours

This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. I really enjoyed it and you are living in paradise. I appreciate all of your explaining your techniques and tackle/gear. Thanks again and best of luck to you.

That was awesome!!! How exciting! Great choice not to kill it! Great video! I really look forward to Mondays to see what you and the wife get into.

Thank you for the video.! It reminds me of why I love fishing, and particularly the keys. Big fan who used to live in little torch. You just never know what you might hook off the reef. My favorite sound in the world is the whine of an unexpected reel going off. It was special to see such an awesome fish, kudos for cutting it off. Savor the moment the sea gods provided! Thank you again. Fair winds and following seas👍.

That blue fin bite was epic. Some of my favorite memories are the one's that i got spooled or got away. Another great video as usual, Aaron you're the man!!

Most amazing eat I’ve seen. Especially since it was completely unexpected and perfectly in frame. Thanks for sharing that!

We were screaming watching!!!!!!! What a freaking wild experience on the water!!! So glad the camera caught it, great video 🎉🎉🎉

By far, my favorite videos are of you Catching, Cleaning, Cooking the food you catch. I've always wondered how to clean and cook the stuff I catch Not being familiar with what I catch, I throw back everything I catch because I don't know if it's poisonous or not. I have an autoimmune disease and don't know what is safe to eat. But you have done such an awesome job of informing me of how to clean, cook,and eat what I catch. Thank you.

Love all your videos man🤙🤙 Your perspective of the content to me is like I was out fishing

Absolutely awesome. Remember some being regularly seen at Boca Bar back in the 90's when the yellowfin bite was going off.

I just speared my first Mangrove over 20 inches. Thanks again for inspiring me to get into this. It is one delicious fish. An free diving is so relaxing.

So much love and respect for you being VERY responsible on your knowledge and rules and regulations. Always love your vids please keep it up!!!
